could I still ride a bike!.
Part of the ageing process for me, has been a slight problem with vertigo. To be honest, I can't even walk in a straight line!. Initially, I thought this might present a problem in my return to cycling.
Not wishing to make a fool of myself in public, I borrowed a folding non electric bike from a friend, chucked it into the boot, and drove to a local park where cycling was permitted. After the first few yards of frantic waggling of the front wheel to maintain balance, I quickly realised "Hey, I can still do it".
Since that first tentative ride, I have now progressed, and rapidly re-learned those subtle body movements needed in low speed control.
Regards
Bob
